Tigers reinstate veteran pitcher Urquidy from injured list

The Detroit Tigers reinstated right-handed pitcher José Urquidy from the injured list on Friday
SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • Associated Press
Placed on injured list The Tigers placed Gipson-Long on the 15-day injured list Friday against Miami due to neck stiffness.
Impact Gipson-Long gave up seven runs in 2.1 innings in a start Thursday, and he'll now head to the injured list. Gipson-Long will be eligible for reinstatement Sept. 27, one day before the Tigers' final regular-season contest. Detroit activated Jose Urquidy (elbow) from the injured list in a corresponding move, but it's unclear who'll take Gipson-Long's spot in the rotation.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Hit hard Thursday Gipson-Long allowed seven runs on seven hits across 2.1 innings of relief in Thursday's 9-3 loss to the Yankees. He struck out three.
Impact Tyler Holton took the loss as the opener, allowing two runs in his inning of work, but Gipson-Long let the game get out of hand as the bulk reliever behind Holton. Gipson-Long has allowed 13 runs across 6.1 innings in his last two appearances, and he's sitting with an ugly 7.18 ERA overall. The righty may continue to work in a bulk role or start some games while Reese Olson (shoulder) is out, but he's hard to trust in fantasy given his current form. Gipson-Long is penciled in to start Thursday's game against the Guardians, though Detroit may opt to deploy an opener once again in that contest.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Handling bulk role Thursday Gipson-Long is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Tyler Holton in Thursday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Gipson-Long filled a starting role last week following his promotion from Triple-A Toledo, but he didn't impress in his outing against the Mets, taking a loss while allowing six earned runs on five hits and two walks over four innings. The Tigers will keep Gipson-Long in the rotation for another turn, but the team will hope to get better results from him by using him out of the bullpen. Holton is likely to work just one or two innings before giving way to Gipson-Long, who should cover multiple frames.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Mauled by Mets Gipson-Long (0-2) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up six run on five hits and two walks over four innings as the Tigers fell 12-5 to the Mets. He struck out three.
Impact Brought back up to the majors earlier in the day, Gipson-Long served up a solo shot to Pete Alonso in the first inning and a three-run blast to Luis Torrens in the fourth. The right-hander has been taken deep six times in his last 17.2 big-league innings dating back to June 21, but with Chris Paddack apparently headed to the bullpen once he returns from the bereavement list, Gipson-Long may be set for a longer look in the rotation. If he sticks around though, things won't get any easier for him in his next scheduled start, which would come on the road early next week against the Yankees.

Promoted ahead of start The Tigers recalled Gipson-Long from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Gipson-Long will start Tuesday's game at home against the Mets, and manager A.J. Hinch said the right-hander will get either another start or bulk relief outing next week versus the Yankees. The righty hasn't reached the five-inning mark in an appearance since late June, so he won't pitch terribly deep into Tuesday's game.

Drawing start Tuesday Gipson-Long will start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Gipson-Long holds a 4.32 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 25 innings covering two starts and four relief appearances for the Tigers this season. He hasn't reached the five-inning mark in an appearance since late June, so it will be a relatively abbreviated outing Tuesday for the righty. Gipson-Long seems likely to be shifted to long relief after Tuesday's spot start.

Set for call-up Tuesday The Tigers are expected to recall Gipson-Long from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mets, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact With the active roster expanding from 26 to 28 men Monday, Detroit recalled right-hander Chase Lee and outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy from Triple-A to fill the two openings, but the Tigers will make another move Tuesday to facilitate Gipson-Long's call-up. The Tigers don't have a starter listed for Tuesday, so Gipson-Long appears likely to begin that game on the mound or serve as a bulk reliever. The right-hander has previously made six appearances (two starts) for the Tigers this season, logging a 4.32 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 25 innings.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sent to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Gipson-Long to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Gipson-Long tossed two shutout innings out of the bullpen Wednesday, but he'll lose his spot on the active roster while the Tigers bring in a fresh arm in the form of Bailey Horn. Gipson-Long now owns a 4.32 ERA through 25 innings in the majors and could return to Detroit down the stretch for a spot start or to provide more length out of the bullpen.
AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Effective in return Gipson-Long (neck) tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the White Sox. He allowed one hit and struck out two.
Impact Gipson-Long was making his first MLB appearance since June 27, and he looked sharp while only needing 17 pitches to cover two frames. The righty worked behind Troy Melton, who logged five scoreless innings in a spot start. While Gipson-Long worked exclusively as a starter in Triple-A this season, he figures to be a bullpen option for the Tigers with the team adding veteran starters Chris Paddack and Charlie Morton before the trade deadline. Gipson-Long can at least give Detroit some length in relief, as he displayed Wednesday.
AUGUST 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Reinstated from injured list The Tigers activate Gipson-Long (neck) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Gipson-Long has been shelved since mid-July with a neck injury and had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment due to continued stiffness. However, he's ready to go now after allowing two runs across 7.1 frames in two rehab appearances this month. Gipson-Long appears pegged for a long relief role for the time being.

White Sox and Tigers meet with series tied 1-1

Both the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers are looking for a series win with a victory on Wednesday
AUGUST 13, 2025 • Associated Press
Covers 4.1 innings in rehab start Gipson-Long (neck) struck out three and allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk over 4.1 innings in his latest rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo.
Impact Gipson-Long built up to 57 pitches in his second rehab start since he resumed his assignment earlier this month after a two-week layoff caused by a recurrence of neck stiffness. The Tigers appear committed to letting Gipson-Long get stretched out as a starter during his rehab assignment, but the right-hander may not have a spot in the big-league rotation waiting for him once he's ready to return from the 15-day injured list.
